Fast response and helpful consultation

I came to Terry Scannell through a referral. I needed help with a complicated partner dispute in my company. He did a terrific job. Terry and his team were knowledgeable and consistently answered all my questions quickly with both expertise and clarity. They are professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Terry handled my business case with determination, integrity and diligence. Terry's work product is exemplary, and he has a thorough knowledge of the law. Mr. Scannell presents himself well at legal forums and is an excellent orator. Terry is a true and seasoned legal professional.

I highly reccomend Terry. I had a contractual dispute that was very complex and involved several different areas of law. It was difficult to find a lawyer who had both the focus and diversity to handle the matter successfully. After a long search for a qualified lawyer, I finally found Terry Scannell. Terry tackled the matter with passion, and always showed me that he really cared about the outcome of the matter, as opposed to just handling another case for a fee. The case was handled flawlessly and successfully, which in my case meant that Terry had to show the other side he knew all of the issues involved, and that he was willing to fight until the end. I have worked with many, many attorneys and can assure anyone that is looking for quality representation (at a reasonable and fair rate) that Terry Scannell is one of the best lawyers you can find.

Terry is an exceptional attorney and wonderful to work with . He is conscientious and effective. He took a difficult case and worked through to a satisfactory resolution. Terry actually cares what happens to his clients. I would highly recommend Terry

Terry is an incredible lawyer, he helped get me through a very complicated and painful situation. He told me what he expected, gave me excellent advice, and in the end he delivered more than I hoped for. His knowledge of lending law is outstanding, I really can't say enough about his integrity, work ethic, and brilliance.

A lawyer who actually listened to me and is willing to take my case. He even advised me not to waste my money if at all possible and to drop the case. Who does that? Not an ambulance chasing crook that's who. Even if I don't win I have a great lawyer with a great attitude on my side. That's all I needed was someone who would listen . . . he even takes everyone's call and gave me a free consultation and his time. Who does that?

This guy is amazing. He is very helpful and was very reliable. Anyone who needs this kind of lawyer should definitely hire him. Thank you.

Helped with a legal problem I was having regarding a used car I had purchased. He was very knowledgeable and I was thankful he took time out of his schedule to help with my case.

Talked to me at length withough a charge and gave very good advice. Friendly and listened to what I had to say. I would highly recommend Terry if you need his experience

A dispute with a sewer company had me searching on this site for an attorney. I am grateful I found Mr Terry Scannell. He spent a long time talking to me, listening and laying out my options to proceed. He did not charge me for an initial lengthy consultation and was extremely kind, helpful and patient, though this was not going to be a lucrative case for him, as I did not intend to sue. He handled everything resolute and with expertise, and when the sewer company did not pursue the matter, I was even refunded half of my retainer! Though I hope I will never again have to hire an attorney, I would not hesitate to contact Mr Scannell, if the need should arise! Thank you Mr. Scannell!

i have an ugly family dispute and am being sued. I made over 10 calls to attorneys in my area and could not get anyone to take my case. I was extremely discouraged and felt like i had no chance in court. Terry listened and asked questions and made me feel like all was not lost. He answered all my questions, offered a review of where he thought the case stood and my chances of winning the lawsuit. He totally understood where i was coming from and didn't dismiss me as not worth his time. CALL THIS LAWYER! He can help you understand your legal position, and if your like me, you will be praying he'll take your case after about 2 minutes of talking to him.

I strongly recommend Mr. Scannell to anyone with questions and concern regarding legal suit relating to property loans. Terry listened closely to our case, and our opinions, did his research then gave us a clear picture of our options. His advice resulted in a satisfactory settlement without further court proceedings. Terry impressed with his obvious concern for our goals and not necessarily what steps would enhance his income. He has our trust.

Terry Schannell is an excellent attorney. He helped me answer a question about someone who stole money from me completely with out a charge.. He told me how to find a lawyer for a small claims case and he also told me how to properly word what I need done so in "lawyer terms" so my case would be understood. Great and very smart person. Thanks again.

I reached out to five lawyers on AVVO. Terry Scannell was the only one that followed up. I had two legal questions and he basically gave me the solid advice I needed. On one issue, he took the practical approach of - is it really worth all the money I could spend on attorney fees? - and let me decide what to do. On the other issue, he referred me to another lawyer; an expert in that field. I really appreciated his timely and honest response. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thanks Terry!!!

I received a phone call back from Mr. Scannell and he was very helpful and generous in taking the time to point me in the right direction for my situation.

This is a bitter sweet moment as I have had the pleasure to have Terry as my attorney for the past 4 years. I cannot say enough about Terry and his staff. He is thorough, tenacious, compassionate and very good at what he does! I was confused and at a loss as to where to turn or what to do. As I had never been a position where I needed an attorney. Contacting Terry was the best thing I ever did, my loss and confusion quickly became 2 very complex and confusing cases, which I had no idea how bad it was until I meet with Terry and he started peeling back the layers. Because of Terry's passion and diligence I prevailed on both cases. I do not think any anyone else would have been right for the job. He was there through the entire process answering all my questions (I ask a lot of questions), putting to rest any fears or concerns I had. Again If you need an attorney you should call Terry. I know in the future if I need an attorney Terry will be the first person I call.

I called Terry regarding a real estate legal matter. He called me back promptly and gave me legal advise without charge. I absolutely would recommend his services and would hire him myself if his honest advise had not put me in a different direction.

Terry has been invaluable in helping my wife and I through a very difficult time. On the verge of losing our most valuable asset we hired Terry to represent us in a complicated, uncharted civil lawsuit. Terry quickly demonstrated tremendous preparation and litigation skills. I have never known a lawyer more prepared or focused. He has the ability to dissect a case much like a skilled surgeon with absolute calm. Nothing rattles Terry or distracts...

Terry and his firm do an excellent job assessing whether there is a case and provides a reasonable and efficient strategy for resolution . He has handled multiple negotiations for us over the last 7 years . The results are fair to all parties . We value his service highly.

I called Terry Scannell to possibly hire to represent my husband and I in small claims court regarding a dispute with a neighbor. Terry took the time to give excellent advice in helping us move forward on this matter. He was very candid, concise & honest with his advice and took away a lot of anxiety for us. Thankyou very much Mr. Scannel. My husband and I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for legal advice in the future!

Terry handled a very difficult situation quickly and more than exceeded my highest expectations. Every aspect of having him handle the matter was exceptional. Highest possible recommendation!

Terry provided me with invaluable pre-litigation advice about an accounting malpractice lawsuit I intended to file. He provided advice that helped me determine the path forward and saved me a ton in legal fees. Even though I am also a litigator, I found Terry's advice incredibly helpful.

Although we did not end up retaining his services Mr. Scannell was willing to accommodate our situation which was inconvenient and time consuming. The issue involved a small group of owners in our 15 unit condominium complex where our 3 member board was not representing the majority interest. It caused divisions within this small group of owners and was extremely disruptive to our daily quality of life. There were also valid concerns over potentially larger HOA dues and even a significant special assessment. The complex is 55 and over so many long-time owners are on fixed incomes and would not have that financial ability. Mr. Scannell understood this type of problem. He was knowledgeable on complex condominium laws & regulations. Our group of concerned owners was not able to cover the cost of an initial consultation so he offered a free hour of his busy schedule to meet with us. He spent time with me on several phone calls at no cost. In the end we were unable to coordinate our groups schedules and obtain our condominium documents in a timely manner. Mr. Scannell bent over backwards to accommodate us but ultimately we ended up graciously and regrettably dropping our efforts to fight the fight. Definitely our loss! We know for certain that if we do decide to pursue this again Mr. Scannell would be the one we’d call. He’s probably the best there is in this area of consumer law. Dont hesitate! Call him!

I spoke to Terry about my problem with a foreclosure. Although he does not give free consultations he gave me the advice and information to get me going. If I proceed it will indeed be Terry Scannell I will hire to help me. He has the expertise and knowledge that I feel confident with. Thank you and Terry!

My son randomly found Terry online after a meeting with another attorney was delayed/cancelled due to a family emergency. Terry was able to schedule him in the next day. The matter relates to a restraining order that was taken out on my son with inaccurate/untruthful information. Terry and his associates were open to helping my son, they did some initial investigation and determined the order was bogus and that my son has a valid case against the person taking out the order. Terry referred us to another attorney with expertise in this area. I appreciate Terry's honesty in wanting to refer us to the best resource for resolving the case quickly.

I had to make a decision quickly about whether to terminate a contract to purchase a home. I didn't know what my options were, or what I was potentially risking financially. They thoroughly looked through my documents, asked followup questions, and gave me straight answers. While the news wasn't necessarily good, I slept easier having the answers to my questions. And I've learned my lesson - I will hire a lawyer before trying again to purchase a home, or for that matter before signing any contract. And I will call Terry and his partner Chris.

Terry responded to my inquiry on here quickly. Within a day I was on the phone with him and discussed the matter with him over the phone. He listened to all the details, asked engaging and very analytical and detailed questions to get to the bottom of what was going on and provided valuable insight. When we disconnected I knew what I needed to watch out for. When the phone call ended I thought the conversation was done until he messaged me afterwards stating he did more research and I was very impressed. I will definitely be using him in the future for my legal needs.

I was receiving calls on how i was getting sued for fraud. I spoke with terry he was great got me to breath and slow down, reasured me what they were doing was not legal most likely a scam. he went above and beyond with our consultation. I was ready to hire him right then but he told me he didnt want to take my money until we were sure i needed his service. VERY HONEST person.

I was looking for an attorney to help me resolve a very complex business situation. Terry was terrific , he listened to everything I had to say on the phone and then asked me to come in to his office. I met with him and his assistant at his office and we went into the consultation room and I was very impressed with his place of establishment, quite elegant I must say. Terry and his assistant listened to everything I had to say and made notes and presented me with several options , he was helpful, kind and extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand and very easy to talk with. I am very pleased with the law firm and the service they have provided me. I highly recommend Terry to anyone that’s looking for help in resolving their case and obtaining legal advice. On top of everything else, the information and an hour of consultation was offered to me at no cost , Thank you Terry Scannell .

I talked with Terry about my situation. He was honest and direct. He took the time to help me understand the likely outcome and saved me a lot of money and trouble. I recommend him!

Terry took time out of his day to look through my case and ended up helped me better understand my options. It was a relief to talk to him after calling around town and getting now where.

Called Terry and left a message. He returned the call same afternoon. Terry spent more than 20 minutes at no charge discussing the specifics. Helped much.

My wife and I contacted Terry for assistance regarding our concerns with US Bank. Backgroung: During the last half of 2018, US Bank attempted to foreclose on our house/property for a $23K second mortgage. Fortunately, for my wife and I, they weren't successful and we were able to refinance that 2nd mortgage/HELOC through a credit union. Due to the issues we dealt with in 2018 and US Bank, we were focused on refinancing the primary mortgage (also with US Bank) and getting as far away from any ties to US Bank. At the beginning of this year, my wife and I moved forward with the refinance. What led us to contacting an attorney, in this case, Terry Scannell, was that US Bank didn't release the 2nd mortgage lien...the 2nd mortgage was actually paid off mid-October. On February 4th of this year, I received An email from the credit union we refinanced through, informing us that US Bank never filed the lien release with Washington County, Oregon. As a result of this communication, our February was highlighted by numerous calls we made to US Bank for a status of the lien release. Our calls were met with multiple transfers, getting told on several occasions the lien release was in process, but we had to give it 8 to 10 business days. Our frustration peaked by the end of February, as there wasn't any progress being made in our situation. During a search on the internet 2/23/19, I came across Terry's name. After exchanging emails with Terry, I was able to meet with him on 2/27/19. During this meeting, I brought up all the issues we had with US Bank. Terry was very attentive and direct with his questions. I also retained his services at the end of the meeting. The one question that stood out the most, and one that Terry brought up during follow-up communications: What are you trying to achieve?....what is the end result you are looking for?....what do you want out of this? Well, by the end of February, my wife and I were extremely stressed and at wits end. All we could think of was getting the lien removed in conjunction with filing a lawsuit against US Bank. On 2/28/19, the day after Terry and I met, he proceeded to contact the law firm that represented US Bank during the attempted foreclosure process, Aldridge Pite. Terry emailed that law firm and received a quick reply from one of the partners, Casper. Casper advised he was in contact with US Bank, his client, regarding the processing of the lien removal. The lien release was finally filed with Washington County on 4/5/2019. An image of the lien release showed that the document was actually notarized on 3/9/19 in Multnomah County. Throughout this process, Terry kept Debbie and I involved and abreast of his communications with Aldridge Pite. We truly believe that without Terry's intervention on our behalf, the lien process would still be pending, sitting on someone's desk, or still getting handled by some 'back office', as US Bank reps kept telling us. So, Terry asked the question again at the end of last week, with this lien removal process winding down: What do you want out of this????? My wife and I realized that getting the lien removal processed was really what we were wanting....the oppotunity to refinance and get completely away from US Bank. Terry also kept the costs associated with this process at a minimum. He truly believed that in working with Casper from Aldridge Pite, that this matter would be resolved, which it was. And we didn't need to file a lawsuit. Terry's knowledge, his guidance to Debbie and I, his ability to focus on what we really were trying to achieve, and his professionalism were way beyond what I would have expected from a lawyer. He was awesome to work with. Debbie and I are now within 2 weeks of wrapping up the refinance process. What a difference a month can make, especially with having someone like Terry on our side. Well done Terry.

A few months ago I found myself in an emergency situation and needed immediate help. I contacted Mr. Scannell, who although wasn’t unable to help me personally, but seeing that time was of the essence, he went over and above to find me someone that could..without Mr. Scannell’s intervention I sincerely doubt that I would’ve been able to find anyone on such short notice on my own and therefore I would’ve missed my dead line.

We consulted Terry about best options in selling our house after being in one place longer than we ever expected. Terry put us at ease with instant rapport, obvious credibility, and patient help, in sorting and focusing on priorities. We were surprised when he declined compensation for our first meeting (that ran longer than I expected). We agreed to follow up, as our situation progresses. I'd recommend Terry to anyone needing help in his practice areas. Other attorneys were referred to us, but I'm glad we connected with Terry. If you think you might need an attorney, you probably should talk with one. But do your research first, then choose carefully. After reading about him on Avvo (resume, reviews, "Legal Answers," etc) and elsewhere, my positive impression was more than confirmed in person.

I called Terry for help regarding a pending legal matter. He was knowledgable, honest, and helpful. I really appreciate that he does not bill clients to research background information--he will refer you to someone else if he is not an expert in the relevant area of the law.

after I e-mailed Mr. Scannell, I realized I had e-mailed him before about this same issue, he said he did not deal with timeshares, but the last time I e-mailed him I did ask if he had any suggestions. He gave me a name of another attorney that may be able to help. He did not have to do this, he could have just left it as it was. But it does show he is committed to helping people. I hope I never need to use an attorney again, but if I do I will make the trip to his office. Thank you Mr. Scannell.

I consulted Mr. Scannell over the phone about a property line dispute with a neighbor. He was super helpful, and after hearing my side of the situation - he was honest and thoughtful and suggested "you probably don't want to fight this fight". Having never been involved in any court case of any kind - this was exactly the advice I was looking for and I'm thankful that he provided it without having to take the matter any farther.

Terry was very helpful, definitely the consultation I needed. He took the time to listen to my case and provide his insight. Highly Recommended.

We hired Terry and his team for a property problem , they did a LOT of digging into a paper work trail and said we had cases to sue a couple different entities , in the end we could not afford to go that route but the work Terry and team did was great and the letter his team wrote up for us got us what we wanted …. the piece of land we thought we already owned. thank you Terry I consider it money well spent .

Terry was very prompt in getting back with me. Even though he felt that I did not need the the services of a lawyer, he was more than helpful in answering the questions I had. Easy to talk with. Highly recommend Terry.

I called Terry for help regarding a pending legal matter. He was knowledgable, honest, and helpful. I am very thankful for his time and professional legal advice. He provided insight and options to consider before proceeding. Thank you!

Terry, took my call and spoke with me at length. Ultimately deciding to not take my case, but he spent nearly 40 minutes on the phone listening to my story and finished with a recommendation to another attorney. Super nice guy!

I found Terry on Avvo. I called him for help. I explained my situation and he gave me excellent legal advice during this free consultation. I trust his years of experience and his positive reviews. After the initial consultation, there's no doubt in my mind that he is the correct lawyer to represent me. I look forward to working with him.

Terry provided thorough and thoughtful advice at no charge. Terry clearly cares about helping others and would be a true asset to his clients. I am truest impressed. I have never encountered an attorney like Terry Scannell. Thank you. Yvonne

Spoke with Terry regarding unresolved prior legal issues. His knowledge and support proved integral in steering me towards the desired resolution direction. I appreciate his time and efforts and would recommend his practice

I spoke to Terry briefly (he does not do free consultations) but with my few questions and his expertise I was able to make decisions and get a direction. I could tell he has the experience, expertise and honesty that I would want. I would recommend Terry to my family and friends. Thank you so much!
